Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan protozoan that causes toxoplasmosis. Approximately one-third of the world's population is currently T. gondii-seropositive. Although most infections are symptomless, a few can produce retinal lesions and, in immunocompromised persons or when congenitally contracted, can progress to life-threatening central nervous system disseminated infections. Therefore, quick, and precise diagnosis is a must. Molecular techniques nowadays play a crucial role in toxoplasmosis diagnosis, particularly in immunocompromised patients or congenital toxoplasmosis. This review aimed to detail recent advancements in molecular diagnostics of T. gondii infections. The terms "Toxoplasmosis," "Molecular diagnostics," "PCR," "qPCR," "B1," and "rep529" were used to search the English-language literature. In developed nations, conventional PCR (PCR) and nested PCR have been supplanted by quantitative PCR (qPCR), although they are still widely employed in poor nations. The diagnosis of toxoplasmosis has been revolutionized by the emergence of molecular diagnostics. Unfortunately, there is still substantial interlaboratory variability. There is an immediate need for standardization to increase the comparability of results between laboratories and clinical trials.

Fascioliasis is one of the most common foodborne zoonotic infection of ruminants in Bangladesh. To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of fascioliasis and extent of liver damage, 825 livers of sheep and goats were randomly inspected during onsite slaughterhouse visiting in Naogaon, Natore, Rajshahi and Joypurhat districts. The overall prevalence of fascioliasis was 25.09% and significantly (P = 0.008) higher in goats (26.11%) than sheep (24.00%). During gross inspection, Fasciola infected livers were increased in size, fibrosed, fatty, multiple white or reddish necrotic foci on the parietal surface, hard to cut, calcified, and numerous mature and immature flukes were also observed. In histoarchitecture, inflammatory cell infiltration in the hepatic parenchyma and periportal area, fibrous connective tissue proliferation around necrotic area, hyperplastic bile duct, congestion, and primary biliary cirrhosis were seen in acute and chronic fascioliasis. Epidemiological investigations revealed that fascioliasis was higher in goats than sheep. Age, sex, BCS and season were found to have statistically significant associations with fascioliasis in goats. In case of sheep, age (OR = 5.8671; 95% CI: 2.9482-11.6757, P < 0.0001), sex (OR = 3.7317; 95% CI: 1.9052-7.3094, p < 0.0001), BCS (OR = 6.0346; 95% CI: 1.7986-20.2472, p < .0001), and season (OR = 8.2308; 95% CI: 3.9922-16.9693, p = < .0001) were also found to have statistically significant associations with fascioliasis. Results of the study can help for molecular epidemiology of fascioliasis in small ruminants to plan fluke control programs for safe food production.
法氏囊病是孟加拉国最常见的反刍动物食源性人畜共患病之一。为了估算法氏囊病的发病率、相关风险因素和肝脏损伤程度，我们在纳奥冈、纳托尔、拉杰沙希和乔伊普尔哈特地区的屠宰场现场随机检查了 825 只绵羊和山羊的肝脏。法氏囊病的总发病率为 25.09%，山羊（26.11%）明显高于绵羊（24.00%）（P = 0.008）。在大体检查中，受法氏囊感染的肝脏体积增大、纤维化、脂肪化、顶面上有多个白色或淡红色坏死灶、难以切开、钙化，还观察到大量成熟和未成熟的吸虫。在组织结构上，急性和慢性筋膜炎均可见肝实质和肝门周围炎性细胞浸润、坏死区周围纤维结缔组织增生、胆管增生、充血和原发性胆汁性肝硬化。流行病学调查显示，山羊的法氏囊病发病率高于绵羊。研究发现，年龄、性别、BCS和季节与山羊的筋膜炎有显著的统计学关系。在绵羊中，年龄（OR = 5.8671；95% CI：2.9482-11.6757，P p p p = 5.8671；95% CI：2.9482-11.6757，P p p = 5.8671
